Although Asterisk can receive and propogate flash events, it currently
provides no mechanism for doing anything with them itself.
This AMI event allows flash events to be processed by Asterisk.
Additionally, AST_CONTROL_FLASH is included in a switch statement
in channel.c to avoid throwing a warning when we shouldn't.

Prior to this patch, all Stasis subscriptions would receive a dedicated
thread for servicing published messages. In contrast, prior to r400178
(see review https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/2881/), the subscriptions
shared a thread pool. It was discovered during some initial work on Stasis
that, for a low subscription count with high message throughput, the
threadpool was not as performant as simply having a dedicated thread per
subscriber.
For situations where a subscriber receives a substantial number of messages
and is always present, the model of having a dedicated thread per subscriber
makes sense. While we still have plenty of subscriptions that would follow
this model, e.g., AMI, CDRs, CEL, etc., there are plenty that also fall into
the following two categories:
* Large number of subscriptions, specifically those tied to endpoints/peers.
* Low number of messages. Some subscriptions exist specifically to coordinate
a single message - the subscription is created, a message is published, the
delivery is synchronized, and the subscription is destroyed.
In both of the latter two cases, creating a dedicated thread is wasteful (and
in the case of a large number of peers/endpoints, harmful). In those cases,
having shared delivery threads is far more performant.
This patch adds the ability of a subscriber to Stasis to choose whether or not
their messages are dispatched on a dedicated thread or on a threadpool. The
threadpool is configurable through stasis.conf.

This introduces stasis.conf and a mechanism to prevent certain message
types from being published. Internally, this works by preventing the
chosen message types from being created which ensures that those
message types can never be published. This patch also adjusts message
publishers such that message payloads are not created if the related
message type is not available.
